They have about 90 horse or so. Hydraulics were typical IH. Slow, but they do move oil. They shift pretty hard (though I have mastered the thing). Pulls like no other, lots of torque. At least the diesels do. Don't know much about the gas ones. Nice rugged tractors, but they would be terrible on a loader or any job that requires a lot of shifting form forward to reverse. Most parts can still be gotten from a dealer. There are a lot of them still up and running, and ours has 10,000 hours on it with no engine or TA work. We added an M&W turbo a few years ago and it'll pull about as good as our 1066. Quicker throttle responce than the 1066, but a bit less torque. Overall a great tractor that should be found fairly cheap and will be about as reliable as anything ever made. Aaron
